Alex Pettyfer has been tapped to star as John Bindon in The Chelsea Cowboy, a biopic about the life of the notorious English actor and bodyguard.
Deadline reported that the film will follow Bindon from his troubled youth, when he spent time in a borstal, through his chequered rise and fall from stardom.
Spotted in a London pub in 1967, Bindon received a lucky break when he was offered a role in Ken Loach s Poor Cow. He then enjoyed a successful acting career and a string of lothario-style romances, including a rumoured dalliance with Princess Margaret at her Caribbean home. In the 70s, Bindon took up security work alongside acting, including for Led Zeppelin on their 1977 U.S. tour, where he was fired for fighting backstage.
